Landscape with Seated Figure and Dog c. 1620

Abraham Bloemaert's "Landscape with Seated Figure and Dog" (c. 1620) is a brown ink drawing featuring a large, gnarled tree that dominates the composition. The tree's branches reach out towards the viewer, creating a sense of depth and perspective. Beneath the tree, a figure and a dog are seated, their small scale emphasizing the tree's imposing presence. Bloemaert, known for his landscape drawings and paintings, captures the natural world with great detail and sensitivity in this intimate, yet powerful, depiction.
